Apocalypse of the Dead

This is an great book and zombie fans will really enjoy it. It???s scary and graphic with lots of action and killing. Great characters!

This is part of a series called ???Dead World???. I???ve read 3 of them and highly recommend.

The ending was so ridiculous, way too Jonestown, and really? when does freakin' pervy pedofile behavior fit into a zombie book?.....NEVER...Felt like the author was reaching and not grasping.

Oh heck no, I love good zombie stories....trouble is they are few and far between.

didn't really have one.

They were all pretty pathetic and predictable

Don't waste your credit.

I would. Ed Moore and Michael Barnes are two of the strongest characters.

The realism and adventure.

At the end I was upset because of the Jonestown replication. It was a good book (excluding that).

Very good book, scary as well. Had some very strong characters. I liked how the different groups (five in all) adapted and survived through all the chaos. I listened to the story and could envision events unfolding like the story. Michael Barnes was my favorite character at first, but you'll find out why that changed (it's at the end). Ed Harris added another quality and dimension to the story. Strong leader.

The book was adventurous and gripping. I liked that it didn't take place in one location or state (like Texas, from other zombie books). The landscape is throughout America and you listen as different groups of people of very different backgrounds survive in this environment.

I was kind of disappointed with this book, maybe I expected a better outcome. This is your typical "zombie story" nothing out of the ordinary, except at times I truly though this story had the same layout as "The Stand" from Stephen King. I felt frustrated time and time again when listening to the monotonous story. The preacher with its followers and their promise of a better live is almost the same as the "walking dude" in Las Vegas extracted from The Stand. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Mr. McKinney read "The Stand" once too many times. Not worth your credit.

Really enjoyed this book, very well narrated. The only thing that was off, but not bad, was the plot changed away from the main story line of a Zombie book.

As a writer I am reluctant to dish out overly harsh criticism. I know what it takes to write a novel. Even so, every page felt like mile 22 on a marathon. The characters reminded me of transplants from my least favorite 1970's TV shows. The story is choppy and difficult to follow and I had zero empathy for anyone in this book. One of the lead characters, a retired US Marshall, reminded me of a bad impression of Clint Eastwood. Furthermore, the world suffered several years of catastrophe yet electricity still flows? I never bought into his world and felt like a bored spectator at a cheesy amusement park.

Porn stars, LSD, Killing Zombies!

Porn stars, LSD, Killing Zombies!

Very well read

Yes

End seemed rushed! Built up to what should have been a big final confrontation but ending was very Blahh! Dissapointed me anyway otherwise woulda been 5stars! Just left me with a lot of questions unanswered, and felt as if writer got tired and jut said "Ok all the bad guys die, good guys live happily ever after! The end! When it seemed to be building onwards to a climax that never Came!

As one of the other people commented this story was very hard to follow. I didn't know who was where or who was doing what. Overall it wasn't bad but I think the abridged version would have been the way to go. It skipped around so much that I didn't care about many of the characters yet all of the sudden I'm learning about the past of these people that really didn't add to the story. Overall not bad but I had to skip a few chapters to get through it.

I really wanted to like this story, but at the halfway mark I was so confused about who was who and who was where. The story also seemed to really not be going anywhere in particular. I usually enjoy a good zombie story, but this one just didn't hit with me.
